The method may also include analyzing additional prospect criteria, such as direct connections, historical interactions, or other relevant factors, to refine the evaluation process. The goal is to enhance decision-making by considering both direct and indirect connections when assessing prospects, which can improve infrastructure management, security, or operational efficiency. The method may be applied in various technical domains, including cybersecurity, network management, or IT governance, where understanding indirect connections is critical for risk assessment or resource allocation.
29. The method of claim 22 , further comprising: connecting the computing device to an external memory via a network connection, wherein the external memory stores a copy of the cached geographic data and other geographic data for displaying any selected geographic area, a copy of the cached technical infrastructure data and other technical infrastructure data for displaying the technical infrastructure within the any selected geographic area, and a complete listing of identifiers including the cached listing of identifiers and other identifiers for displaying at least one identifier of at least one specific customer located within the any selected geographic area.
This invention relates to systems for managing and displaying geographic and technical infrastructure data, particularly for visualizing customer-specific information within selected geographic areas. The method involves a computing device that caches geographic data, technical infrastructure data, and a listing of identifiers (such as customer identifiers) for a specific geographic area. The cached data is used to display the geographic area, its technical infrastructure, and relevant customer identifiers. To enhance functionality, the computing device connects to an external memory via a network. The external memory stores additional geographic data, technical infrastructure data, and a complete listing of identifiers, allowing the system to display any selected geographic area, its infrastructure, and customer identifiers within that area. This ensures that the system can dynamically access and display comprehensive data beyond the initially cached information, improving flexibility and scalability for applications such as network management, customer service, or geographic information systems. The external memory acts as a centralized repository, enabling seamless updates and broader data coverage.
30. A system for identifying and efficiently navigating to a customer in a geographic area comprising: a computing device including a processor coupled to a display, a local memory, and an external memory, the local memory storing instructions for execution on the processor, the instructions configured to cause the processor to: load map data and customer data from a remote database; filter the loaded map data and the customer data using filter parameters; determine an absence of a connection between the computing device and a wireless network; in response to determining the absence, prevent the computing device from attempting to connect to any wireless network and generate a prospect map based on the loaded map data displaying: a selected geographic area; a technical infrastructure comprising network infrastructure required to support a telecommunication service within the selected geographic area; at least one identifier of at least one specific customer located within the selected geographic area, wherein the at least one specific customer requires access to the technical infrastructure in order to receive service, and wherein the at least one specific customer is displayed in accordance with a first prospect criteria; generate a prospect detail window overlaid on the prospect map on a display; wherein the at least one identifier is selectable, the prospect detail window displayed when a user selects the selectable identifier, wherein the prospect detail window comprises a listing of at least one tenant located at a location of at least one identifier of at least one specific customer and one or more additional information about the at least one tenant, wherein the external memory stores geographic data for displaying any selected geographic area, technical infrastructure data for displaying the technical infrastructure within the any selected geographic area, and a complete listing of identifiers for displaying at least one identifier of at least one specific customer located within the any selected geographic area, wherein the local memory pre-loads into a cache a portion of the geographic data, a portion of the technical infrastructure data, and a portion of the complete listing of identifiers, and wherein the cached portion of the geographic data, the cached portion of the technical infrastructure data, and the cached portion of the complete listing of identifiers are used to generate the prospect map.
The system is designed for identifying and navigating to customers in a geographic area, particularly useful for telecommunication service providers. It addresses the challenge of efficiently locating customers who require access to technical infrastructure, such as network components, while ensuring seamless navigation even in areas with poor or no wireless connectivity. The system operates on a computing device with a processor, display, and memory. It loads map data and customer data from a remote database, then filters this information based on user-defined parameters. If no wireless network connection is detected, the system prevents further connection attempts and generates a prospect map. This map displays a selected geographic area, the technical infrastructure needed to support telecommunication services, and identifiers for specific customers who require access to this infrastructure. Customers are displayed according to predefined prospect criteria. Users can select these identifiers to view a prospect detail window, which provides information about tenants at the customer's location and additional relevant details. The system optimizes performance by pre-loading geographic, technical infrastructure, and customer identifier data into a local cache, ensuring smooth operation even without an active network connection. This cached data is used to generate the prospect map, reducing reliance on real-time data retrieval.
31. The system of claim 30 , wherein the one or more additional information about the at least one tenant comprises at least one of: an internal rate of return (IRR) projection for the at least one specific customer; a capital cost value of extending the technical infrastructure to the location of the at least one specific customer; a current monthly recurring revenue (MRR) of the at least one specific customer; a potential MMR of the at least one specific customer; and a distance from the technical infrastructure of the location of at least one identifier of at least one specific customer.
This invention relates to a system for evaluating and managing technical infrastructure investments for tenants, particularly in scenarios where infrastructure must be extended to serve specific customers. The system addresses the challenge of determining the financial and operational viability of extending infrastructure to new locations by analyzing key metrics related to tenant profitability and infrastructure costs. The system collects and processes additional information about tenants, including financial projections such as internal rate of return (IRR) for specific customers, capital cost estimates for extending infrastructure to customer locations, and current and potential monthly recurring revenue (MRR) from those customers. It also considers operational factors like the distance between existing infrastructure and customer locations. By integrating these metrics, the system enables decision-makers to assess the feasibility and profitability of infrastructure expansion projects. The system may also incorporate tenant identifiers to link financial and operational data to specific customers, ensuring accurate analysis. This approach helps organizations optimize infrastructure investments by prioritizing high-value customers and minimizing unnecessary expansion costs. The system supports data-driven decision-making in infrastructure planning, ensuring alignment with business objectives and financial constraints.
